Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Collard Greens

    Wash the collard greens thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Remove the tough stems from the leaves and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Chop the Vegetables

    Peel and dice the onion, garlic, and carrot. Remove the seeds from the red bell pepper and chop it into small pieces.

Cooking

  1. 3

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onion, garlic, and carrot. Sauté for about 5 minutes until the onion becomes translucent.

  2. 4

    Add the Bell Pepper

    Stir in the chopped red bell pepper and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until softened.

  3. 5

    Cook the Collard Greens

    Add the prepared collard greens to the pot and stir well to combine with the sautéed vegetables. Pour in the vegetable broth, then season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.

  4. 6

    Simmer

    Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the collard greens simmer for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender.

  5. 7

    Adjust Seasoning

    Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, black pepper, or red pepper flakes to your preference.
